Subject: Award of one Community Investment Grant for Community Organizing and Capacity Building for Resilience Hubs
NOTE: Resolution of the Board of Directors of Ava Community Energy Authority for Community Organizing and Capacity Building for Resilience Hubs Community Investment Grant to Emerald Cities Collaborative (“ECC”) • Approving a resolution to execute a Grant Award with Emerald Cities Collaborative, for Community Organizing and Capacity Building for Resilience Hubs Community Investment Grant, of up to $300,000 over 18 months.
Date: December 18, 2024
______________________________________________________________ Summary and Recommendation
This memo proposes approval of the recommendation, authorizing the CEO, to negotiate and execute one Grant Agreement of up to $300,000 over 18 months, to Emerald Cities Collaborative (“ECC”), for the purposes of leading Community Organizing and Capacity Building for Resilience Hubs.
Financial Impact
Award one Grant of up $300,000 from the previously approved Local Development - Community Investment Grant budget.
Analysis and Context
Ava staff completed a community workshop in June of 2023 to solicit ideas for Community Grants that foster program enrollment, education, awareness, and workforce development. One outcome of the workshop was the need to develop more local support and community engagement to facilitate local resilience.
Staff Report Item 14
Ava staff developed a request for proposals for local organizations to facilitate Community Owned Resilience Hubs within the service territory. The Request for Proposals (“RFP”) was issued in July 2024.
Grantees were asked to submit proposals to identify and develop a catalog of potential resilience hub sites through community outreach and organizing, educational efforts, collaborative learning, and research related to energy resilience. The selected Grant recipient(s) will be responsible for working with local communities to identify viable community owned locations or “sites”. All sites are required to be in an Ava service area and take electricity service from Ava.
Ava received two proposals, which were evaluated by staff using the following criteria:
• Quality of Proposed Plan: Meeting Grant Program Goals (35%) • Organizational Capacity: Budget(s) & History of Meeting Grant Deliverables (20%) • Demonstrated Capacity of Delivering: Local Community Benefits (20%) • Prioritizing Equity Priority Communities (12.5%)
• Ava Energy Special Procurement Preferences (12.5%)
The proposal from ECC was the stronger proposal, reached priority regions and constituencies within the Ava service territory as well as coordinating with other local community-based organizations such as Local Clean Energy Alliance. ECC is a national non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., with affiliate offices in Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Oakland, San Francisco, and Seattle. Founded in 2009, ECC has the stated goal of creating "high-road" local economies that are sustainable, just, and inclusive.
ECCs proposal provides a strong plan to engaging with the Community through focus groups and collaboration with other CBOs to help define Resilience needs in the community, as well as defining eligibility criteria for Resilience Hubs. ECC will develop case studies of successful Resilience Hub models and provide an assessment tool to help prospective resilience hub sites confirm their resilience needs and apply for Ava’s Resilience Hub Technical Assistance Program and Solar and Storage incentive. ECC has identified 14 potential sites for Resilience Hubs. This Grant would deliver the identification of approximately 50 eligible Resilience Hubs sites.
Ava staff has worked with ECC over the last months to refine the approach with this grant.
Through this process both parties agrees that shortening the grant term from three years to eighteen months was the right approach to focus on early learnings and community engagement as Ava ramps up the associated Resilience Hub Programs. Both parties agreed to focus on early engagement and initial Resilience Hub opportunities, focusing on quality of prospective sites over quantity.
Considering the need for this important work and the current funding in the Community Investment Grant budget, staff recommends issuing one Grant to Emerald Cities Collaborative.
